Agencies must ask about citizenship and require proof
What the document says“ask the applicant the question, `Are you a citizen of the United States?' and if the applicant answers in the affirmative require documentary proof of United States citizenship”
Applies to the agencies that offer voter registration under section 7 of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, such as public assistance offices. The proof is required before the registration form is provided.
What the document actually says“ask the applicant the question, `Are you a citizen of the United States?' and if the applicant answers in the affirmative require documentary proof of United States citizenship”
Ask the person: are you a citizen of the United States? If they say yes, ask them to show papers that prove it.
Some government offices offer to sign you up to vote. This bill tells them to ask if you are a citizen. If you say yes, they must ask for proof. They ask before they hand you the form.
